A leading global remanufacturing trade show, ReMaTec has reported to have already booked more than 75 percent of the available stands for its 2017 show, taking place from June 18-20, 2017. With 17 months to go before the networking event opens its doors to remanufacturing specialists from around the world, many big names in the industry have already confirmed their participation.
The remanufacturing industry has seen tremendous growth over the past few years, according to ReMaTec. The recently published European Remanufacturing Network market study, funded by the European Union Horizon 2020 project, estimates the current European market to be worth just under €30 billion (approximately $32.76 billion) with a potential to triple in size to €90 billion (approximately $98.29 billion) by 2030.
Show Manager Niels Klarenbeek said the growth of the industry is reflected in the show’s floorplan, which has never filled up faster. “We’ve received a great response from both participating and new companies after ReMaTec2015. Many companies have rebooked, but we are also seeing a lot of newcomers. Seeing interest in stand space peaking this early is unprecedented,” he noted.
Large players in the remanufacturing industry have confirmed their participation at the show. With companies like Autocraft Drivetrain Solutions, Autoenterprises, BorgWarner, Corteco, D&V Electronics, Emmetec, Gobbi Spare Parts, Meritor, Pos Service Holland, Rufre Diesel Injection, TRW, Valeo, WAIglobal and ZF present, the organizers say the show will be able to provide visitors with a thorough selection from the global remanufacturing industry.
With a strong focus on automotive remanufacturing, segments such as remanufacturing equipment, starters and alternators, transmissions, engines, cores, brake and steering systems are traditionally well-represented among exhibiting companies. For the next edition of the show, Klarenbeek noted they are noticing an increase in electronic components and ECUs, as well as a growing turbocharger segment.
“The sustainable and cost-saving qualities of remanufacturing have helped us build political momentum for the industry,” said APRA Europe Chairman Peter Bartel. “As a result, the industry is growing and we see ReMaTec as an important platform where those involved in automotive remanufacturing can come together to network and do business.”
The growing demand for stands at the show has lead the show organisers to move the event to a larger hall in the RAI Amsterdam complex. An added benefit of this increased floor area is that all the exhibits are together in one large hall.
The next ReMaTec show is taking place from June 18-20, 2017, at RAI Amsterdam in The Netherlands.
